“Terror Returns: Anxiety Grips Benue as Gana’s Militia Gang Unleashes Wave of Killings and Abductions”

The people of Benue State are once again engulfed in fear and uncertainty as a resurgence of violence by criminal elements believed to be remnants of the late notorious militia leader, Terwase Akwaza, popularly known as Gana, sweeps across the region.

In an alarming development, the Vanguard Newspaper reported via its official X handle that the gang members, emboldened by the absence of strong resistance, have launched a series of brutal attacks, unleashing terror on communities through killings and abductions. This renewed wave of violence has left residents of Benue in a state of panic, with many fearing for their lives and livelihoods.

The late Gana, once a notorious figurehead of terror in Benue, left behind a criminal network that has seemingly regrouped and is now sowing chaos. The gang, known for their ruthless tactics, is allegedly responsible for the recent surge in kidnappings, targeted killings, and extortion, sparking anxiety across the state.

Local sources report that several communities are living under constant threat, with some residents being forced to abandon their homes in search of safety. The resurgence of violence has also heightened tensions, as many question the effectiveness of security forces in curbing the activities of these criminals.

The Benue State Government and security agencies have been called upon to take decisive action to contain the situation. Authorities are reportedly mobilizing resources to neutralize the criminal elements and restore peace to the affected areas, but the people of Benue remain wary as they await concrete measures to address the security crisis.

As the shadow of Gana’s reign of terror once again looms over Benue, the urgent need for comprehensive security measures has never been more critical. The people demand swift action, hoping that the renewed menace can be quashed before it spirals into uncontrollable violence.

Vanguard’s coverage highlights the deepening sense of despair in Benue, where many are asking: When will the nightmare end?
